Mini Me, Twins...no need for more explanation

Fun at New Braunfels' Children's Museum

Today, we spent part of the day at the Children's Museum.  The kids were able to stayed very entertained for several hours.  No fits, no tantrums, just good ol' fun! Which, to me, was worth every penny we spent there. They played at the grocery store, the space shuttle, the ambulance and many other centers.  Lastly, we went outside where there was a huge area with all kinds of water toys. We ended up having to buy the kids a shirt because they got soaking wet. They also had a chance to paint a cute little old VW Beatle that was there.

Later, we ended up eating at Freddie's.  Carson loved their french fries, Natalia really enjoyed their ice-cream, and Luke just enjoyed it all.  

We were only about 8 miles away from San Marcos, so we ended up going to the Outlet Mall.   Oh wow, I loved going in Pottery Barn.  They had it all!  I must go again soon (with money, lots of it).

To finish off the day, Dave and I had a chance to go out to dinner, while the kids stayed at home with my parents. 

So, I thought I was the only one having a good day, until I got home

  
All relaxed after my massage and facial, I walked in the house and found everybody outside. Daddy bought each one of them their own shovel, so they definitely had to use them somehow. So, they went to get all kinds of gardening stuff.  When I got there, they were all planting vegetables and flowers in several pots.  They were having a blast.  

  

After all that work, it was time to cool off, even though it was about 71 degrees outside.  So, Daddy got them soaking wet.  I don't know how the kids were able to handle that water.  It was so cold.  ~What a great day they had!

      

What a day...

Today, things were a little bit different at work.  Once a year, a vendor invites all the property managers from San Antonio, Houston and Austin to her house.  She provides us with yummy food, drinks, desserts, massages, pedicures and facials.  Talking about relaxing...She has a beautiful house in the middle of no where.  All you can see from her living room are horses, cows, longhorns and lots of trees.  Oh, this day, I wish it would've gone a lot slower.  I really enjoyed my day out in the country (I can't believe I forgot to take pictures).  

After that pampering, we stopped by supposedly the best BBQ place in this area.  It really didn't look very promising from the outside, but you can never judge a book by it's cover.  So, we decided to stop and give it a try.  I'm so glad we did - it was very good.  Dave even claims it being better than Rudy's. 

Oh what a wonderful day I had!

Enough is Enough!

After such a busy day with all the responsibilities a 2 year old has, there comes a point when enough is enough!  Well, right after dinner, Luke decided that it was time to call it the day.  So, the fastest way to do that was to turn around in his booster seat and, simply, fall asleep.  Hey, why not?

Guilty Conscience

Okay, so I was already feeling a little guilty, but I decided to do it anyway. I went through my purse and after a while I finally found enough change to get some M&M's. I'm still trying to decide if this is a good choice or not, knowing very well what the answer to this question was. Finally, I decided that after having the kind of day that I'm having, M&M's might help me feel a little better. So, I put the coins in the slot. I can already taste them. I press E6, and don't you know...they get stuck! I guess I was not supposed to eat them afterall. I didn't even get mad. I just took it as a sign.

Whose turn is it now?

Okay, again, this is not one of my favorite pictures of Luke, but I just had to take it so that you can see what I have to go through.  I know, it's hard to believe that sweet little Luke looks like this from time to time.

On my way home from work, I was just thinking about how I've really enjoyed Luke lately. He is just a fun little fellow...not this evening.  He probably had, oh I don't know, between 3 - 4 tantrums within 2 1/2 hours.  He got a spanking, he got put in his room and I don't know what else, and nothing seemed to work.

Thank God Carson was a little angel tonight - he even ate all his peas.  God knows how much I can handle and so does Carson!
